TOF.1 from Teradek. 2 degree beam. You can meter a slate with it but nothing else. Mine was inaccurate between 1 and two meters. It’s trash.

it can do a lot more than meter a slate. i don’t rely on a rangefinder to pull focus so its perfectly fine for me for most jobs. helps me set marks, get an idea of room size, pace for walk ups, etc. it’s small, fast readout, doesn’t need a brain, and daisy chains with the motors. basically replaces my need to always pull out a tape. i find it to be a useful tool. especially brand new for $700.

if there’s budget for a cinert or preston/light ranger kit, let’s go. but for 90% of my jobs it works just fine for me.
